The district is an irregularly shaped area that surrounds two interior areas that are not historical and are not included in the district.

The four most prominent buildings in the district are the school, the institute, the Episcopal Church, and the Methodist church.[2] The Methodist church, built of brick and brownstone in 1872, is of Romanesque Revival style architecture (see accompanying photo #10)[2] The
Hazardville Institute, 317 Hazard Street, is Italian-styled brownstone, and was built in 1869 (See accompanying photo#7).[2]
